Commenting on Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit, Jimmy Kimmel said, "It’s a rare opportunity for Trump to thank the leader of the country where his ‘God Bless the U.S.A.’ Bibles are made in person."

On the September 23, 2026 episode of "The Tonight Show," Cara Delevingne performed the song "Crazy, Baby" from her debut album, "Not Normal."

In response to Melania Trump's documentary announcement, Desi Lydic said, "Melania, I love you, but unless you’re living with Nathan Fielder in this thing, no one is asking for this."

A documentary about Melania Trump titled "Melania" was released less than a year before her September 2026 announcement of a new series.

Seth Meyers commented on Melania Trump's new documentary announcement, saying, "I’m sorry, didn’t you just release a documentary about yourself? Sounds like somebody can’t take ‘boo’ for an answer."

For Project Suncatcher, Google is meeting with designers about potentially building a custom satellite the length of a soccer field.

As part of Project Suncatcher, Google plans to launch a pair of satellites in 2027.

Google has designs for future Project Suncatcher fleets of more than 80 satellites that will fly in formation and communicate with each other.

For Project Suncatcher, Google developed a cooling system that uses layers of conductive material to expel heat from its AI chips into space.

Cooling fans do not work in space.

According to Travis Beals of Google, the Project Suncatcher AI chips can operate for about 15 minutes in space before needing to shut down to cool off.

To meet its accelerated 2026 timeline for Project Suncatcher, Google installed its AI chips into a ready-made Planet Labs satellite for testing.

Planet Labs initially agreed to launch two satellites for Google's Project Suncatcher in 2027.

According to Eric Stevens of Planet Labs, Google later stated it wanted a satellite in orbit in 2026 for Project Suncatcher and was willing to take risks to meet that accelerated timeline.

James Mason, chief space officer at Planet Labs, stated that he had spoken with Google co-founder Sergey Brin over the years about doing computing in space, but the idea had previously seemed hazy.

For Project Suncatcher, Google contracted with satellite imagery company Planet Labs, in which it had previously invested, to commission a satellite to carry its AI chips into space.

Google estimates that the cost of orbital data centers will become roughly equivalent to terrestrial ones in the mid-2030s.

In cyclotron tests for Project Suncatcher, Google found that restarting its AI chips could usually reset "bit flips" caused by radiation.

For Project Suncatcher, Google tested its AI chips with a cyclotron particle accelerator at Crocker Nuclear Laboratory in Davis, California, to assess their survivability in space.

Following a pitch meeting in May 2025, Google co-founder Sergey Brin and CEO Sundar Pichai greenlit Project Suncatcher.
